</li></ul>Position Dimensions and Impact to the University:
SORCE is part of the Department of Surgery. SORCE&rsquo; s mission is to assess the impact of surgical procedures on patients, society, and the healthcare system, and improve the practice of surgery through clinical trials, education, training, and policy initiatives. Our research center supports faculty investigators and other healthcare stakeholders in determining the optimal process of care by critically evaluating the outcomes of a procedure including its impact on patient health, well-being, satisfaction, functional status, and lifespan as well as its impact on the healthcare system. This research is translated into practice and policy by collaborating with surgeons, healthcare payers and purchasers, and patient advocacy groups.
Clinical research is an important aspect of the University&rsquo;s research mission. It puts basic research into action and has direct impact upon patients&rsquo; lives. Some of the groundbreaking clinical research in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery has been conducted at the University of Washington. Device trials are a common clinical trial that is performed, such as TransMedics Inc. &ldquo;heart in a box&rdquo; and Physician-Modified Endografts (PMEG) in thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm patients. 
The Department of Surgery is among the largest clinical departments within the School of Medicine, and its strategic and financial impact on UW Medicine are disproportionately greater than the size of the department. The department has grown substantially over the last 3-4 years, by about 25% - and we continue to appropriately, but rapidly, add faculty, programs, and staff. As of January 2025, the Department composition is 151 paid professorial track academic faculty located at all the UW clinical sites; 161 clinical faculty located throughout the community and WWAMI region; Four (4) ACGME residency programs (General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Vascular Surgery) with 107 residents in these four programs. 20 ACGME and Research Fellowships; 150 Administrative and Research staff.
